2nd Weigh-In
The 1st week under our belts of the Splash Down Program, and I think we have worked through most of the kinks. I am pleased to say we're seeing results in our first week as a group. I still have a few more people to measure early next week, but I'm happy with the measurements I have already taken. Great job team!!! Keep…
Trio
Today was fun for me in the fitness center. I was on the bike next to my Teammates Vinnie and Sara doing cardio. Vinnie being "Vinnie" joking as we were warming up telling Sara "I want to be like Sara when I grow up". Sara told him "you can be Vinnie just stick with the program". As we continued our legs workout we…
How much water should I drink a day?
The old rule of thumb regarding water intake was 8 glasses of water a day. The true rule to follow regarding how much water you need to drink for your body to stay hydrated, take your body weight and divid it in half and that is how many ounce of water you need to drink a day. Example: my weight is 170 lbs /2= 85 ounce of…

No exercise, but boy I am beat
Courtney and team - I have been traveling to NC this weekend. No exercise, but I wanted to share my steps from yesterday. We were cleaning out my dads house and I was amazed to see the total at the end of the day. I had to share! I can't wait to get back home and into the gym.
You're a great motivator!!
so glad I worked out with you today Coutney! I'm going to figure out my new iwatch so I can be sure to start tracking all exercise & food!! I need remedial training!
Thank you Courtney
A big thank you to Courtney for all the hard work that she is putting into this program. Working for our goals, working towards her own goals, and working out hard with us each day. What a difference it makes!
Willpower??
I've been doing well watching what I eat-using the calorie counter on my fitness pal. Tonight though---hard to stop the snacking. And on peanut butter-of all things. Any thoughts on how to handle the cravings?
Beat!!!
Long day at work and I got home and I told my husband I needed some motivation to go to the gym. He told me he was looking forward to training with me, and he would do cardio first so I can get my sticker on the board today. We all need support time to time so it's import to have people we can call on to help us during our…
Heart Rate Monitor
Used my heart rate monitor today for its first real workout. It was hard to keep in my target zone as provided by Courtney. I will be interested to see what results I get in the next few weeks of use and focus.
Burned 617 calories- cardio & strength
Keepin on & not giving up. Love using the food tracker, helps me make better choices & portions. Also, helps me realize I do better than I think. The discipline has been good for me, even got me husband to start using the app!!
M&Ms
Tonight, I had the willpower to take an M&M out of my mouth, so that I wouldn't have to record it in my food diary. Recording food has been a hassle, but helpful. I've been surprised at how much sodium I eat. Need help with binge- eating when I get home from work.
Today's Challange
Courtney issued a challenge for us to post today how we are doing, so here goes nothing... For me, the small changes I have made to my normal routines make me feel like I have really amped up my workouts. My muscles feel tired (good tired) just from trying some of my regular exercises in new ways and adding in some new…
Day 3 - Share your workout with the team
I ran today. Set out for 4.5 miles and frankly could only do 3. I walked the rest. The heat, humidity and sweat pouring into my eyes got to me.... How was your workout today?
